Going into the very translations that the WatchTowerhas published and
in the case of the New World Translation translated let's see if we can find the truth regarding the Holy Spirit despite the
JW's false teachings concerning the Holy Spirit elsewhere.

In the Emphatic Diaglott, published by the WatchTower/JW's it saysin
Acts:

"But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has the ADVERSARY, filled thine HEARTto
deceive the HOLY SPIRIT, and to appropriate a part of the price of the LAND?...Thou has not lied to Men, but to GOD." (The
Emphatic Diaglott, Right Hand Column, Acts 5:3,4)

"...to deceive thee the spirit of the holy,...not thou hast lied tomen,
but to the God." (Diaglott, Ibid, English directly underthe Greek)

"But Peter said: 'Ananias, why has Satan emboldened you to playfalse to
the holy spirit and to hold back secretly some of the priceof the field...You have played false, not to men, but to God."(Ibid,
New World Translation)

A few points that need to be brought up from the WatchTowers ownbibles.

1) It was stated that Ananias was deceiving the Holy Spirit. A forcecannot
be deceived.

2) These verses equate lieing or playing false with the Holy Spiritwith
lieing or playing false with God.

So do the JW's believe that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God?

No!

The next scriptures are also in Acts and I (a person) will
quotefrom the Watchtowers publications and in the case of the NWT, atranslation from them aswell.

"As they were publicly ministering to Jehovah and fasting, the holyspirit
said: 'Of all persons set Barnabas and Saul apart for thework to which I have called them...Accordingly these men, sent
outby the holy spirit....(Acts 13:2-4, New World Translation)

In this passage there is no argument for NOT capitalizing HolySpirit, except
that it doesn't fit into the WATCHTOWERS preconceived view of things.

However, they forgot to distort a few truths here.

"...said the spirit
the holy; Separate you indeed for ME theBarnabas and [the] Saul for the work, which I have calledthem. ...having been
sent forth by the spirit the holy..." (Ibid,Diaglott, English directly under the Greek)

"And while they were serving the Lord and fasting, the HOLY SPIRITsaid,
Separate to me BARNABAS and SAUL for the work to which I have called them.' ...They, therefore, having been sent out by the
HOLY SPIRIT...." (Ibid, Right Hand Column)

There are several things that are crystal clear from the abovementioned
passages.

1) Lieing to the Holy Spirit is lieing to God, so therefore the HolySpirit
is God, no little g here.

2) The Holy Spirit speaks, only a person can speak.

3) The Holy Spirit says, 'I'-First person personal pronoun and 'Me'

Only
a person can do this.

4) In the bible we see that the Holy Spirit can be grieved, a forcecannot
be grieved.

We also see that one can attempt to deceive theHoly Spirit as Ananias and Saphira
did.

The Watchtower published this Greek Interlinear work and if theywere
convinced of things like Jesus being crucified on a stake oreven the most important doctrine such as the Trinity and the
deityof Christ (as my post on the Trinity said) then why did they publishthis work.

The Emphatic Diaglott, published by the Watchtower or to be morespecific,
"International Bible Students Association Watchtower Bibleand Tract Society" Publishes a work where Benjamin Wilson says
inthe Preface,

"The intelligent reader will at once perceive the utility and importance of this arrangement.
Readers who are familiar with the original tongue obtain in this work one of the best Greek Testaments, with important ancient
Readings, ...Scrupulous fidelity has been maintained throughout this version in giving the true rendering of the original
text into English; no regard whatever being paid to the prevailing doctrines or prejudices of sects, or the peculiar tenets
of theologians.

To the Divine authority of the original Scriptures alone has there been the most humble
and unbiased submission."

So in his statement he is declaring that 'no regard whatever beingpaid to
prevailing doctrines or prejudices or sects, or the peculiartenets of theologians.' And to this the Watchtower gives a
heartyamen by publishing this work.

So in other words Wilson said that this is truly an objectivetranslation
of the scriptures and they are not influenced bysects and peculiar doctrines (such as Arianism (JW's ) which have beenaround
a long time.

At the Watch Tower site they say that what one believes
about theTrinity is of eternal importance

"Why should a subject like this be of any more than passinginterest? Because
Jesus himself said: "Eternal life is this: to knowyou, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." So ourentire
future hinges on our knowing the true nature of God, and thatmeans getting to the root of the Trinity controversy. Therefore,why
not examine it for yourself?-John 17:3, Catholic Jerusalem Bible(JB)." (http://www.watchtower.org/)

If this is the case then why did they publish a work that supportsthe deity
of Christ?

The only translation I have found where Titus 2:13 doesn't make itclear that
it is talking about the same person is the KJV and theNWT and the KJV didn't rule out the possibility.

The many other translations follow the Granville Sharp rule inmaking it clear that
'The Great God' AND 'Saviour of us' arethe same person and that is Jesus Christ.

The Emphatic Diaglott published by the Watchtower, which is a GreekInterlinear
Bible says the following:

"Waiting for the blessed hope, even the appearing of the Glory ofour GREAT GOD
AND Savior Jesus Christ" (Right Hand Column, Emphatic Diaglott, Titus 2:13)

"the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God andsavior of us
Jesus Anointed." (Ibid, English directly under theGreek)

So even the Watch Tower's own translation confirms that the 'greatGod' and 'Saviour
of us' is the same person and He is Christ Jesus.

This shows at best that the Watch Tower doesn't even agree amongstthemselves
concerning who Christ is.

This is because Who Christ is and What He did on the cross are connected. This is why
when the Cults distort who Christ is, through either denying that He is God or placing layers between him and us (as the Catholics
do), they in effect have to take up the slack with a works oriented salvation.

It is logical that if Christ was not
God then his sacrifice on the cross is not enough.

This is why all the groups must take up the slack with mens efforts.

This is religion in its worst definition. Rather than God reaching down to man, man
is attempting to work his way upward to God.

The differences are as clear as night and day.

It is interesting when one (me) has the luxury of having particularworks of the
JW's (Emphatic Diaglott) and I do.

One is the New World Translation written by the WATCH TOWER society(JW's)

AND

"THE EMPHATIC DIAGLOTT containing the ORIGINAL GREEK TEXT" which is a "INTERLINEARY
WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION' allegedly taken from the "VATICAN MANUSCRIPT"

I just wanted
to make it clear that it is the WATCH TOWER that isresponsible for both works.

The New World Translation:

"And whoever does not accept his TORTURE STAKE and follow after meis not worthy
of me." (Matthew 10:38, New World Translation)

"And he who does not take his CROSS, and follow me, is not worthy ofme"
(Right hand column of the Emphatic Diaglott, Matthew 10:38)

"and who not takes the CROSS of himself, and follows after
me, notis of me worthy" (English directly below the Greek, EmphaticDiaglott, Matthew 10:38)

Next verses:

"As they were going out they found a native of Cyrene named Simon.This man they
impressed into service to lift up his TORTURESTAKE....if you are the son of God, come down off the TORTURESTAKE!...let
him now come down off the TORTURE STAKE." (Matthew27:32,40,42, New World Translation)

"And going out, they met a Cyrenian, named Simon; him they compelledto carry his
CROSS...If thou art a Son of God come down from theCROSS...let him now descend from the CROSS, and we will believe onhim.
(Right hand column, Emphatic Diaglott Matthew 27:32,40,42)

"For the speech about the TORTURE STAKE is foolishness to those whoare perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is God's power" (NewWorld Translation, 1 Corinthians 1:18)

"For this Word, (that of the Cross,) is indeed Foolishness to thosewho are perishing;
but to those who are being saved, even to us, itis the power of God" (Emphatic Diaglott, Right hand column, 1Corinthians
1:18)
